Something Will Grow There are few places, if any, in the whole of Canada that some- thing will not grow, and certainly none in any garden or corner of the garden no matter how unprom- ising, The great run of flowers and vegetables, 'of course. prefer an open position with lots of sun- light and in a nice, rich, well -work- ed loam. However, in small urb- an gardens especially, one cannot always -have the ideal. But that does not mean that one cannot have plants, and especially flowers. Certain flowers, like the tuber- ous rooted begonia, actually need a dark, shaded corner. Anything like full sun for them would be dis- astrous. And there are some other flowers which lila varying degrees of shade. There are others, many more indeed, that prefer a little shade throughout the day. Actu- ally full sun will often bleach out delicate coloring. Then, too, not all flowers prefer very rich soil, some, like the portulaca. like the other kind and very dry. Again there are certain flowers and a few vegetables, too. that will thrive best in soil that is slightly acid or wet, while others insist on no acid at all and a well -drained posi- tion. All these points one takes into consideration when planting to have a garden, especially one in a rather unusual place. All these special likes and dislikes are us- ually mentioned in the seed cata- logue. Also mentioned will be time and flowering, coloring. whether the flower is scented or not, whe- ther it has long stems and is, therefore, suitable for bouquets. Working It Will Help Behind some of the new houses completed since last fall will be .some pretty unpromisine garden Material. Nowadays, it is true. btiild.ers are a little more consid- erate and sometimes make an at- tempt to save and put back the rich top soil after grading has been completed. No matter what it looks like now. it is amazing What a difference there will be in a few months and still more in a tew years. t„lU lkest results with the new t,,yydit, df .Coarse, will be obtain- 'here btain ' %$01"e a Ds* !bads of rich lolim ill; Ought' in and spread over dib :loti. ''!'hiss applies to lleWei and vegetable gar- bre-t#iita la not possible, tl or is too expensive, one can go at things more gradually. Thorough and frequent cultivation will work wonders and also digging in all sorts of green materials, like grass clippings, leaves or special crops. The latter are usually oats, peas or rye, which are sown, allowed to grow and then dug in. 'These things supply humus and that is the big need of both heavy and light soils. For Divisions In place of fences or walls one can use growing screens and even the fence or wall will look more attractive if partially hidden in this way. There are all sorts of planting material available for this purpose. It will be listed in any good seed catalogue. The peren- nial types are well known. Many people do not realize that one can get quite good and quick results from annuals too. Dahlias, orna- mental sunflowers, cosmos, spider plants are only some of many things that will reach three or four feet in 'height in a few weeks. And there are quick -growing vines, too, like scarlet runner beans, sweet peas, hops and morning glories. and council adjourned to meet again in regular monthly ,session on Monday afternoon, May 14.
